Accepting bids for Fall Ball 2012

[Yelenia Hylraren]

Have a zomg awesome idea for the next Fall Ball location? Tired of having to travel across the States when there are totally kickin' rad places for us to host the event in your own backyard?

If you would like to bid on a location for Fall Ball 2012, please send an e-mail titled 2012 FALL BALL BID to naevents@tarvalon.net, events@tarvalon.net, and officers@tarvalon.net. Bids need to be submitted by October 8th, 2011.

Things to keep in mind when submitting a bid:

• If your bid is selected, YOU will be an integral part of the planning. By making a bid, you are volunteering to be the local liason.
  What does that mean? You will be my eyes and ears on the spot. You will be expected to do a lot of the leg work to find hotels, local activities, and transportation options.[/*:m:1lhdugq0]
• Fall Ball is generally held around late October to early November and we're looking for a tourist friendly location. WE schedule a lot of "free time" during Fall Ball, so having available day time activities is a MUST.[/*:m:1lhdugq0]
• Hotels with a meeting room we can reserve to socialize in are a HUGE plus.[/*:m:1lhdugq0]
• Normal Fall Ball attendance is 20-30 people.[/*:m:1lhdugq0]

Please include the following information in your bid and aim to use the following headings:

I'm excited to see which locations are offered!

 

[Theo al'Finn]

hopefully somewhere on the west coast USA

 

[Emory Sheldon]

I think someone in Texas should bid. Do we have any members in San Antonio? That would be a great place. Everything in the Dallas/Ft.Worth area requires a car. That doesn't mean I have given up...

 

[Nirra Bar-Lev]

hopefully somewhere on the west coast USA

That's what I'm thinking.

[Jeffan Caliarthan]

12th Anni in California sounds awesome. <3

 

[Leese Sulan]

I WANNA SEE A MICHIGAN BID.


So that I can go.

 

[Jeffan Caliarthan]

Fall Ball is about tourism. Who wants to go look around Detroit?

 

[Lilli O' Neeus]

I have a few views and neat places up here, believe it or not. I also know a nice little place.......

*goes off to plot*

 

[Ariadne Davion]

West coast, totally!

If I knew where all the good places out here was....

 

[Vashanka Val'rus]

There should be another event in Canada. it's not really NA parties until more than one occurs outside the USA..


:dm

 

[Yelenia Hylraren]

Going to Mexico doesn't count as going outside the USA? I suppose I shall make a note of that. :P


But really - the more bids, the better!

I agree wholeheartedly! BC is nice in the fall

 

[Tree]

BC could be cool... but Michigan is also interesting. Maybe not Detroit but Ann Arbor is cuteness on a stick! :P Honestly, I like Detroit... but I’m weird like that.

 

[Jodea Kegan]

Still hoping the beauty of Minneapolis will be an option eventually. Minnesota is at its best in the fall

 

[Tree]

But Jodi... its really cold. :P

 

[Ariadne Davion]

Actually, thinking about it, there are some AMAZING parks and swimming in the BC summer...

 

[Jodea Kegan]

:P not in october. It can get a bit chilly, but we are talkin southern MN here. It is quite comfortable with a light jacket :rolleyes
